Answer: B) the presence of inherited antigens on the surfaces of erythrocytes.
Explanation:
A blood group is a classification of the blood according to the characteristics present on the surface of the red blood cells called erythrocytes. The two most important classifications for describing blood groups in humans are antigens (the AB0 system) and the Rh factor.
The AB0 system was discovered in 1901, and was the first known blood grouping system; its name comes from the <u>three types of groups that are identified: antigen A, antigen B, and 0 (zero) without antigens.</u>
<u>Each individual has a different set of erythrocyte antigens</u>, and because of their number -there are currently 32 known antigenic systems, plus some differentiated antigens that have not yet been attributed to any specific system- it is difficult to find two individuals with the same antigenic composition. Different antigenic systems are characterized by inducing antibody formation at different intensities; therefore some are more common and others are more rare. <u>So, the antigenic systems considered most important are the AB0 system and the RH system</u>.
Characteristics of the AB0 system are:
- People with type A blood: their red blood cells express type A antigens on their surface and develop antibodies to the B antigens in the plasma.
- People with type B blood: their red blood cells express type B antigens on their surface and develop antibodies to the B antigens in the plasma.
- Persons with type 0 blood: they have no such antigens (A or B) on the surface of their red blood cells, but develop antibodies to both types.
- Persons with type AB blood: having both antigens on the surface of their red blood cells, they do not make any antibodies to the A or B antigen.
The Rh system is the second blood group system in human blood transfusion with 50 antigens currently. In 1940, another group of antigens was discovered and they were called Rhesus factors (Rh factors). People with rhesus factors in their blood are classified as "Rh positive", while those without the factors are classified as "Rh negative". It is common for D-negative individuals to have no anti-D IgG (immunoglobulin-G) or IgM antibodies, since anti-D antibodies are not normally produced by sensitization to environmental substances. Rh-negative people form antibodies to the Rh factor, if they are exposed to Rh-positive blood.
D. Electron Configuration
Multiple choices :
A. test for chemicals that might poison fish and cause algae to grow
B measure the dissolved oxygen content in pond-water samples
C look for sources of pollution that may be affecting the pond
D measure the amount of light at various levels in the pond
Answer;
D. measure the amount of light at various levels in the pond
Fish in the pond feeds on the algae that grows in the pod.
Therefore; death of fish in the pond caused a large increase in algae populations.
Measuring the amount of light in the pond would not tell the student what caused the death of the fish in the pond.
Answer:
its sexual, the whole word thingy is sexual thingy i just had to say that cuz of the word count
Responding to the environment is the characteristic of life that best describes the process of homeostasis. Homeostasis is the ability of a body or living organism to adjust its internalenvironment in order to maintain astable equilibrium regardless of the external changing conditions.
